Gotham premieres tonight, and this Batman prequel was a roaring success last season. This series is the tale of Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and the special residents of Gotham, before little Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) grew up to be Batman. The season began with the murder of the Waynes in front of their son, which spurs an investigation and a vow to find the killer, by both Gordon and Bruce. We were introduced to future (but kinda current villains) of Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Joker, The Dollmaker, Two-Face, The Ogre (Robin Lord Taylor, Cory Michael Smith, Camren Bicondova, Claire Foley, Charlie Tahan, Cameron Monaghan, Colm Feore, Nicholas D’Agosto, Milo Ventimiglia), and one not in the comics – Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett-Smith).

A recap of the end of last season, and bit of spoilers for tonight’s episode of Gotham lie ahead. Do not proceed if you are not ready… or worthy!

Gotham, one of the breakout hits last fall, comes back with a new season on September 21st on FOX. If you are one of the three people that did not watch Gotham last season, or you watched it, but want or need a short little trip down memory lane, Gotham has provided a season 1 synopsis video, highlighting all the excitement this corrupt city had to offer.

Watch the season 1 seven minute video below.

Gotham season 2 is all about the baddies, it seems, where even the good ones have a bit of bad in them. Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) has had to get help from the dark side often, looking to Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor). Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) has always walked the fine line. Barbara (Erin Richards) has lost her mind. Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) has too. Dr. Leslie Thompkins (Morena Baccarin) had to find the viciousness within herself to fend off Barbara’s attack. Alfred (Sean Pertwee) harbors secrets about his past. Even little Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) is starting to plant his vigilante seeds.

Bruno Heller‘s Gotham had a stellar 1st season, and we are all waiting with anticipation for season 2. Ben McKenzie (Jim Gordon) and Cory Michael Smith (Ed Nygma aka Riddler) talk about the character arcs they have taken, and give a little insight into Gordon and Nygma’s dark minds.

The first trailer for Deadpool starring Ryan Reynolds as the title character, was released earlier this week to much fanfare. As exciting as a Deadpool sounds, we are still a long ways a way from seeing the actual film. We got a small hint at the character’s motivation through the trailer, and some of interesting tidbits from the panel at Comic-Con, but nothing really substantial. There were questions like: Why is Colossus the only X-Men in the film? Who is the bad guy? And for some, why were some of the footage from the Comic-Con trailer omitted in this one?

Now director Tim Miller is providing some answers to those questions in an all new commentary on the trailer, which you can check out below.
